LANDSLIDE

TANE MAHUTA detail
L.A. Maihi 2010
whimsical mood in the eyes

mind slowly landslide

slippery slope of diatribe

sanity polarity of pride

never the twain towers

between salty sweet sours

heady smell deadhead flowers

undersell these dark hours

carrying what can't be held

deathly vodoo charmed spells

twisted tails of jackal shells

shade of night driniking well

feel the taste of those unreal

why do we sell this dirty deal

when all around is political spiel

and nothing is as nothing real

so tiptoe across the street

from underneath I delete

and struggle over black sleet

to drown under your heartbeat

darkness descends on head

lay the bones upon a bed

of rose-skin apple red

hold onto what once was dead...
